The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is experiencing low water levels in much of the refuge which is impacting access to several of the overnight shelters in the swamp and closing many trails in the Okefenokee Wilderness Trail System. Beginning on November 14, the refuge will only be accepting reservations for overnight camping trips two weeks in advance, instead of two months. Reservations made prior to November 14 will be honored as scheduled. Booking only two weeks in advance should help the refuge better manage cancellations if the water continues to fall. The Canoe Reservation Line is open Monday – Friday from 7:00 A.M. – 10:00 A.M., excluding federal holidays.

We have been planning this for a while now, in with a load of other jobs, in our free time, ha ha, I’m sure you’ve all been there. Well we started the change over on Wednesday, hoping all would be done sooner, but like everything else, something unexpected always pops up and it’s taken longer than hoped.
So, rather than keep the site down longer than I would ever like, I have got it to a point where it’s workable and people can use it as I continue to finish the update.
One important link that I know a number of people are looking for is the Rebuilding Together Application, so to save you looking any further, please click their logo opposite for the app.
